This summer, fashion blogger Elizabeth Spiridakis of White Lightning will hit the road to find the best style and coolest teens across America.

Dearest dearests:

When I finally get that whole "time travelin' DeLorean" situtation sorted out (I mean, finally), my message to my teenage self will be to GET TO OMAHA IMMEDIATELY. Right now I can't see a better city in which to be young. The music scene is obviously tops, the thrift is out of control, it's cheap and the kids that live there are so so cool.

White Lightning reader Kathleen recently moved away from my new favorite city but she offered to hook us up with some friends who would show us a good time. We found ourselves out and about with the kids who live and hang out at Hotel Frank which by the way?...is not a hotel.

Some of my new favorite people, fantastically captured by Kat. The only person missing from here is Kevin, who couldn't have been cuter or nicer or more hospitable. Kevin joins Joel in the "boys we love (roadtrip edition)" hall of fame.
